The team does not support svn builds in any way. They should be considered unstable and broken. We do stable releases for a reason. If you'd like to throw together an unofficial guide that's fine.
There are several guides on the wiki for compiling a SVN build. But this is hardly the same as installing a release on a htpc. We appreciate people who can build from SVN and submit quality bug reports. But to be frank, if users need a handholding guide to compile XBMC, maybe that's not the road they should take.
I appreciate the enthusiasm, but it would be nice if this could just be an accepted change. It's not us vs. you. We just want to see the most users have the best possible experience with XBMC.

For me with the official release from when I tried it in October 2008, the sound wasn't working and it had no vdpau support. That's why I went with the svn build. Seems those were already fixed at that point. Plus I'm happy to submit bug reports and feature requests as since I can't implement them but want them, it's the best way I found of doing it. Plus I don't have to wait until the next official release, it's mainly fixed in an svn build which isn't nearly as long a wait.
